    Exceptional Power. Proven Reliability. Ready to Deploy.

    When your operation demands industrial-grade power generation with the legendary Caterpillar reputation, these pre-owned CAT 3516 Diesel Generator Sets deliver uncompromising performance at an exceptional value. With remarkably low operating hours and complete factory specifications, you're getting near-new reliability without the premium price tag.

    Industrial Power You Can Count On

    Each of these robust generator sets is rated at 1825KW continuous power (2281KVA), providing the substantial electrical capacity needed for critical applications, industrial facilities, data centers, hospitals, or large commercial operations. Engineered to Caterpillar's exacting standards, the 3516 series has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable power generation platforms in the industry.

    Exceptionally Low Operating Hours

    This is where these units truly shine. With approximately 670 hours on Unit 1 and just 581 hours on Unit 2, you're acquiring generator sets that are barely broken in. Most industrial generators are rated for tens of thousands of hours of operation, meaning you're getting equipment with 95%+ of its operational life still ahead—at a fraction of new equipment cost.

    Complete, Ready-to-Install Configuration

    Both units come fully equipped with everything you need for immediate deployment:

    • Factory-Integrated Radiators – Ensures optimal engine cooling for continuous operation in demanding conditions
    • Comprehensive Engine Gauge Panels – Real-time monitoring of all critical engine parameters for safe, efficient operation
    • Analog Generator Gauges – Precise voltage, frequency, and amperage monitoring at a glance
    • Integrated Breakers – Built-in electrical protection for your investment and connected equipment
    • Heavy-Duty Air Cleaners – Extended service intervals and enhanced engine protection in challenging environments
    • Open Skid Mounting – Easy installation, excellent accessibility for maintenance, and flexible placement options

    Technical Specifications That Matter

    • Power Rating: 1825KW Continuous / 2281KVA
    • Frequency: 60Hz – Standard North American specification
    • Voltage: 480V – Ideal for industrial three-phase applications
    • Operating Speed: 1800 RPM – Optimal balance of performance and longevity
    • Engine Model: Caterpillar 3516 – Proven 16-cylinder diesel platform
    • Configuration: Open skid mounted for maximum versatility

    The Caterpillar Advantage

    Caterpillar generator sets are specified by engineers worldwide for one simple reason: they work. With a global service network, readily available parts, and engineering that prioritizes uptime, CAT generators minimize your total cost of ownership while maximizing reliability. The 3516 platform specifically is renowned for its robust construction, fuel efficiency, and ability to handle heavy loads in the most demanding environments.

    Two Units Available – Strategic Flexibility

    With two identical units available, you have options: deploy both for redundant backup power, use one as primary and one as standby, or acquire one now and secure the second for future expansion. Whatever your power generation strategy, having matched units provides operational consistency and parts commonality.

    Ideal Applications Include:

    • Manufacturing facilities and industrial plants
    • Data centers requiring N+1 redundancy
    • Healthcare facilities and hospitals
    • Large commercial complexes
    • Mining operations and remote facilities
    • Municipal utilities and backup power systems
    • Mission-critical operations where downtime isn't an option

    Pre-Owned Quality, New Equipment Performance

    Don't let the "pre-owned" designation fool you. With operating hours this low, these generator sets offer performance virtually indistinguishable from new equipment. You're getting premium Caterpillar engineering, proven reliability, and decades of remaining service life—all while keeping significant capital available for other critical investments in your operation.
